0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Swiss Golf is the official umbrella organization for golf sports in Switzerland, providing comprehensive services including player development, tournament organization, and sustainability initiatives. The website is well-structured, professionally designed, and targets golf players and enthusiasts across all levels in Switzerland. It features clear navigation, rich content, and strong branding supported by reputable sponsors such as Rolex and Helsana. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript frameworks like Vue.js and libraries such as Axios and Chart.js, ensuring a dynamic and interactive user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks visible security headers and an explicit security policy or incident response contact. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website's claims, indicating a trustworthy domain registration. Overall, the site scores highly on content quality, business credibility, and privacy compliance, with minor technical and security enhancements recommended.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Swiss Golf holds a leading position in the Swiss golf sports sector as a non-profit federation. Its business model focuses on supporting golf players, clubs, and tournaments through information dissemination, training programs, and sustainability efforts. The organization benefits from strong partnerships with well-known sponsors and maintains a comprehensive digital presence. The target audience includes juniors, amateurs, and professional golfers in Switzerland. The website reflects a mature digital strategy with interactive maps, live scoring, and media content, supporting community engagement and growth. No direct revenue streams are visible on the site, consistent with a non-profit model. The partnership ecosystem is robust, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not publicly disclose a security policy or incident response contacts, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. Regular audits of third-party libraries and implementation of security headers are recommended to enhance protection against common web threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential security risks.
  4. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve site discoverability and user inclusiveness.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack centered around Vue.js for frontend interactivity, supported by Axios for API calls, Moment.js for date handling, and Chart.js for data visualization. jQuery and Slick Carousel are used for UI components and sliders. The CMS appears to be custom or based on Rex CMS, inferred from navigation class names. The site loads resources from reputable CDNs and image optimization services. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. SEO meta tags are present but minimal, suggesting room for enhancement. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected in the provided HTML, indicating a privacy-conscious approach or external loading not visible in the snapshot.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
